What are some common myths about writing?
One of the most common myths is that writers are ‘inspired’. In fact, persperation plays a greater role in writing than inspiration. Another myth is that experienced writers simply sit down and write their books and whatever they write is publishable. In fact, the more experienced the writer is, the more rewriting, revising and editing they will do on their manuscript. It isn’t uncommon for a manuscript to be rewritten or revised fifty, eighty or a hundred times.
